Our client C. was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teen, given a brace for a few years, and then sent on her way. As an adult, she was told there's nothing to be done for her scoliosis. She was struggling with her posture and pain while walking to the point where she started using walking sticks for long walks because she was in too much pain.
She was motivated to start working out, but wasn't sure what to do and had fear the exercises she was doing may not be the best for her scoliosis. Being that she didn't have any help locally, she reached out to us at Strength and Spine to join our 1:1 Online Coaching Program.
She has been working with Dr. Beth and Coach Christy for about 8 weeks and here is her progress!
Not only is her posture looking and feeling better, she is walking MORE with LESS pain.
"Yesterday my husband and I went to a Home and Garden Show...The building is immense with concrete floors. We walked around for about 3 hours. Usually I would have been sitting down every 1/2 hour or so to rest my back. Yesterday I walked around the entire time without sitting down and my back was not tired or sore! I couldn't believe it! This tells me that I am on the right track with what I am doing with you and your program. Yay me!!"
We're so excited to continue to see her progress!
If you feel stuck in your workout routine like our client C did, DM me "scoliosis strong" and let's chat about if one of our online programs is right for you.
Can you improve the balance of your curve post-menopause?
Yes!
Can you do it with a completely online program?
Yes!
I'm so happy to celebrate one of our clients in the Scoliosis Strength Program 6 month progress!
She very consistently followed her exercise routine and check out her results.
This improvement in her muscular balance led to her doctor feeling she is no longer a candidate for surgery, as long as she keeps up with her exercises.
For a long time, it was felt that nothing could be done for adult scoliosis once we were done growing, that we naturally progress over time.
But what if we could turn back the clock? Research is starting to show us that it's possible.
Thank you to my client for allowing me to share her beautiful spine and I hope this inspires you to get started on an exercise routine, no matter where you are in your scoliosis journey.

Your core can be strong — even with scoliosis.
But most people never find out because they're following programs that were never designed for a spine like theirs.
In today's video — the final episode of our Core Control with Scoliosis series — we bring everything together: the science, the strategy, and the step-by-step approach that actually works.
Whether you've been following along from episode 1 or you're just discovering this now, this one is worth watching.

If you have scoliosis, you’ve probably been told to never lift overhead.
And I completely understand why you believe that. When you’ve been in
pain and every doctor, article, or well-meaning friend tells you to
“be careful,” avoiding overhead movement feels like the safest choice.
But here’s what I want you to consider...
You lift overhead every single day — whether you think about it or not.
Reaching for a glass on the top shelf. Grabbing your carry-on bag into the overhead bin. Washing your hair. Hanging up your coat. Stretching when you wake up in the morning.
Life doesn’t stop being overhead just because you have scoliosis.
So the goal was never to eliminate overhead movement. The goal is to understand how to do it safely and build the strength so that when life asks it of you — and it will — your body is ready.
When you have strength -
✅ Everyday tasks stop feeling scary or painful
✅ You stop holding your breath every time you reach up
✅ You feel capable and confident in your own body again
But if you keep avoiding ALL overhead movement, your body gets weaker, the fear gets louder, and even the smallest tasks start to feel impossible.
You don’t have to live like that.

I want to share something that stays with me long after my sessions end. 💔
💬 Comment "FREE GUIDE" below and I'll send you our FREE Guide to Strength Training with Scoliosis — no strings attached, just real guidance to help you start moving safely. 🙌
So many people come to me carrying something heavier than their diagnosis.
They went to their doctor hoping for answers. A plan. A roadmap. Something that would help them understand what was happening in their own body.
And what did they get?
"Just monitor it."
No guidance. No exercise plan. No explanation of what scoliosis was actually doing to their body beyond their back. Just… wait and see.
And over time that silence turns into something really painful.
They start to feel broken. Like their body has let them down. Like everyone else gets to move freely through life and somehow they don't get that luxury.
So they stop moving altogether.
Not because they're lazy. Not because they don't want to feel better.
But because they're *scared.* And nobody ever gave them the tools to know what was safe.
If that's you — I want you to hear this:
Your body has not betrayed you. You were just never given the right information. And there is a difference. 💛
I've worked with people who spent years feeling like their body was the enemy. And I've watched those same people discover what their body is actually capable of when finally given the right approach.
The strength is in there. The confidence is in there. The freedom of movement is in there.
You deserve more than "just monitor it." 💪

If you have scoliosis, chances are you've been told at least one of
these — and believed it, because it came from someone you trusted.
But misinformation about scoliosis is everywhere. And when the wrong
advice shapes how you move, exercise, and live your life, it doesn't
just hold you back — it can make things harder than they need to be.
So let's set the record straight. 👆 Swipe through for 5 things you've
probably been told about scoliosis that simply aren't true.
Because you deserve information that was actually built for YOUR body,
YOUR curve, and YOUR life.
If any of these hit close to home — drop a 💛 in the comments or
comment "SCOLIOSIS STRONG" and let's talk about what a plan built
specifically for you actually looks like.
Your scoliosis pain is not telling you to stop moving.
It's telling you your body needs strength.
I know why you've been avoiding the gym, saying no to the things you love, and tiptoeing through your days trying not to make it worse. When every movement hurts, rest feels like the safest option.
But here's what no one told you:
Pain is a signal — not a stop sign.
Think of it like your car's check engine light. The light isn't the problem. It's telling you something underneath needs attention. Ignoring it and parking the car doesn't fix the engine. It just lets things get worse.
Your spine is working harder than everyone else's. The muscles around it are meant to support it — but they can only do that job if they're strong enough.
When you build strength the right way, with the right movements and the right guidance, your pain decreases because your body finally has the stability it's been asking for.
That's not dangerous. That's exactly what your body needs.
You can keep avoiding movement and hoping the pain fades on its own…
Or you can start building the strength that gives your spine the support it's been craving.
One path keeps you on the sidelines. The other gets you back to living your life.
💪 Drop "SCOLIOSIS STRONG" in the comments and I'll show you exactly where to start.

New research confirms what we’ve always believed: staying active makes a real difference for scoliosis. 💪
A 2026 study of 474 adults with idiopathic scoliosis found that higher levels of physical activity were significantly associated with lower pain intensity — while curve severity (Cobb angle) alone was not.
Translation? Your lifestyle matters more than your X-ray number. Movement is medicine. 🌿
This is exactly why targeted scoliosis exercise isn’t just about posture — it’s about quality of life.
We’ll be covering even more from SOSORT 2026 in an upcoming blog post — and our newsletter gets that info first. Comment “NEWSLETTER” below to get on the list! 📩

If you’ve tried core exercises with scoliosis and walked away feeling *worse* — this is for you.
Here’s the truth: most core workouts were not designed for a curved spine. So when you do them, you’re not just wasting your time — you could actually be making things harder on your body.
That’s not your fault. Nobody taught you how to train a scoliosis core.
That’s exactly why we built our Core Control with Scoliosis YouTube series — a completely FREE resource designed to teach you how to safely activate your core, reduce pain, and build the stability your spine actually needs.
We already have 4 videos live and video 5 is dropping in the next 2 weeks — so now is the perfect time to get caught up and ready.
No gym membership. No equipment. No guesswork.
Just clear, scoliosis-specific guidance from a licensed Physical Therapist who has scoliosis herself. 💪

If you have scoliosis and core workouts have always felt frustrating, painful, or just plain wrong for your body — this is for you.
Most core exercises were never designed for a curved spine. And if you've ever tried a generic ab routine only to end up with more pain and zero results... it's not because you're doing something wrong. It's because the workout was wrong for YOU.
That's exactly why I created the Core Control with Scoliosis video series.
Here's what we cover:
🔹 Scoliosis-safe core exercises that actually support your spine
🔹 Proper breathing & core activation for everyday life
🔹 Posture & alignment strategies so you move and feel more balanced
🔹 Modifications for different curve types AND spinal fusion
Whether you're a complete beginner or you've been exercising for years, this series meets you where you are.
Because you deserve a core workout that was built for YOUR body — not someone else's.
💬 Comment YT CORE below and I'll send you the link to the full video series. It's time to move better, feel stronger, and stop second-guessing every exercise you do. 🙌
